CHAPTER 3INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS

SECTION I. GENERAL

3.1 PURPOSF OF INSPFCTION.

A complete plan of all maintenance work including inspections is required. Prepare Standing Operating Procedures(SOP) that contain detailed production techniques, standards, and controls necessary to produce a quality product. Seethe applicable sections of TM 9-1300-250 for planning procedures and SOP preparation and approval.

3.2 AMMUNITION SURVEILLANCE.

Surveillance includes those actions necessary to evaluate the current degree of serviceability of pyrotechnics. See AR702-6, AR 740-1, AR 702-12, and SB 742-1 for policy, responsibilities and procedures applicable to the AmmunitionSurveillance and Quality Evaluation Program.

3.3 INSPECTIONS.

3.3.1 Serviceability.

3.3.1.1 Pyrotechnic items will be inspected by a Quality Assurance Specialist (ammunition), or MOS 55X40 personnelunder the guidance of a Quality Assurance Specialist (ammunition), to determine serviceability or unserviceabilityaccording to SB 742-1 and other pertinent SB's of the SB 742-1370 series (appendix A-4d).

3.3.1.2 Required maintenance for unserviceable materiel will be indicated on the inspection report (para 1-2b). DirectSupport and General Support units are limited to maintenance on packaging materials for pyrotechnic items. Because oftheir uniqueness, work on the pyrotechnic items themselves is strictly a Depot level operation.

3.3.2 Pre-Maintenance. At the unpack operation prior to start of work, pyrotechnic external packaging materials will bescreened one hundred percent. Direct Support and/or General Support will perform pre-maintenance screening whichwill include the following:

3.3.2.1 All packaging material items with defects, as listed in table 3-1, will be repaired or replaced during maintenance,if possible. Where the critical defect of conflicting or confusing markings cannot be positively resolved, and thepackaging remarked to correct the problem, small quantities of the items may be disposed of locally. Where largequantities are involved, disposition instructions contained in para 3-8b will be followed.

3.3.2.2 Other evidence of poor workmanship or defects that could cause accelerated deterioration or adverselyaffect the protection of the items will be corrected.

3.3.3 In-Process.

3.3.3.1 In-process inspections are an integral part of the maintenance procedures to assure that previous3-1

TM 9-1370-203-34

work is adequate and acceptable prior to proceeding with further operations.

3.3.3.2 Since these inspections are part of the maintenance procedures contained in chapter 4, they will not bespecifically covered in this chapter.

3.3.4 Final Acceptance.

3.3.4.1 Packaged pyrotechnic items will be inspected after maintenance has been completed. The final acceptanceinspection will determine whether or not maintenance accomplished has returned unserviceable packaging to anacceptable condition.

3.3.4.2 Quality Assurance Specialist (Ammunition), or MOS 55X40 personnel under the guidance of a QualityAssurance Specialist, will perform and certify this inspection prior to returning materiel to its storage area.

3.4 INSPECTION METHODS.

3.4.1 Visual Inspection. Careful observation of item, noting listed defects and any other abnormalities.

3.4.2 Manual Inspection. Movement by hand of specified area of item to determine if listed defect(s) exists (e.g.,incorrect loose part).

3.4.3 Gage Inspection. Checking an item with a measuring instrument or a standard mating piece to determine if its sizeis acceptable in certain critical areas. Defects are derived from either predetermined standards or on a "go" "no go" basis(e.g., a ring gage).

3.5 EXENT OF INSPECT.

3.5.1 Sealed Packages. During maintenance inspections and operations on pyrotechnic items, those packed in barrierbags or sealed cans should not be opened. Therefore, sealed packages will usually be subjected only to visualinspection. A sample item may be opened (and disposed of) to determine proper marking for the packaging, ifnecessary.

3.5.2 Processed Item's. All processed items will be subjected to in-process inspections and a final acceptanceinspection.

SECTION II. CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIAL DEFECTS

3.6 GENERAL.

Pyrotechnics packaging defects, listed in table 3-1, provide the required method of inspection during maintenance forcategories of defects. Categories of defects listed in the table are defined in SB 742-1. An Acceptable Quality Level(AQL) established for each defect is provided in table 3-1 for evaluation during final acceptance inspection. Details onthe use of AQL's in the SB's and table 3-1 will not be covered in this manual since AQL's are to be used only bypersonnel already completely familiar with them.

3-2

TM 9-1370-203-34

3.7 IN-PROCESS AND FINAL INSPECTION.

All pyrotechnic packing materials processed will be subject to in-process and final inspection to assure acceptability. In-process and final inspections will be included as an integral part of all maintenance standing operating procedures.

3.8 DISPOSITION OF LOTS AFTER MAINTENANCE.

3.8.1 Each lot that meets the AQL in table 3-1 is acceptable for issue and use. Where the critical defect of conflicting orconfusing markings cannot be positively resolved and the packaging remarked to correct the problem, small quantities ofthe items may be disposed of locally. Where large quantities are involved, disposition instructions contained in b belowwill be followed.

3.8.2. Lots found with any critical or major defects, or a rejectable number of miner defects, will be inspected 100percent and reworked within the capability of the unit as specified in the Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC). If therequired maintenance is beyond the capability of the unit and its supporting elements, request disposition instructionsthrough command channels from the Director, US Army Armament and Chemical Acquisition and Logistics Activity,ATTN: AMSTA-AC-MAS, Rock Island, Illinois 61299-7630, in accordance with DA PAM 738-750.

3.8.3 Any maintenance operation which results in a change to the information on the Lot Ammunition Data Card requiresthe addition of an alphabetic suffix to the lot number. Suffixes will be obtained through command channels from the USArmy Industrial Operations Command, ATTN: AMSIO-SMI, Rock Island, Illinois 61299-6000.
